of Shareholders, Trustees, Etc</U>. No Shareholder shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever to any Person in connection
with Trust Property or the acts, obligations or affairs of the Trust or any Series thereof. No Trustee, officer, employee or agent
of the Trust or any Series thereof shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever to any Person, other than to the Trust
or its Shareholders, in connection with Trust Property or the affairs of the Trust, except to the extent arising from bad faith,
willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his duties with respect to such Person; and all such Persons shall
look solely to the Trust Property, or to the Property of one or more specific Series of the Trust if the claim arises from the
conduct of such Trustee, officer, employee or agent with respect to only such Series, for satisfaction of claims of any nature
arising in connection with the affairs of the Trust. If any Shareholder, Trustee, officer, employee, or agent, as such, of the
Trust or any Series thereof, is made a party to any suit or proceeding to enforce any such liability of the Trust or any Series
thereof, he shall not, on account thereof, be held to any personal liability. The Trust shall indemnify and hold each Shareholder
harmless from and against all claims and liabilities, to which such Shareholder may become subject by reason of his being or having
been a Shareholder, and shall reimburse such Shareholder or former Shareholder (or his or her heirs, executors, administrators
or other legal representatives or in the case of a corporation or other entity, its corporate or other general successor) out of
the Trust Property for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any such claim or liability.
The indemnification and reimbursement required by the preceding sentence shall be made only out of assets of the one or more Series
whose Shares were held by said Shareholder at the time the act or event occurred which gave rise to the claim against or liability
of said Shareholder. The rights accruing to a Shareholder under this Section 4.1 shall not impair any other right to which such
Shareholder may be lawfully entitled, nor shall anything herein contained restrict the right of the Trust or any Series thereof
to indemnify or reimburse a Shareholder in any appropriate situation even though not specifically provided herein.</P>

Series thereof shall be liable to the Trust, its Shareholders, or to any Shareholder, Trustee, officer, employee, or agent thereof
for any action or failure to act (including without limitation the failure to compel in any way any former or acting Trustee to
